 Great book for kids to learn. As advertised!!A++++++++ July 13, 2008
Seeing the World (APO, AE United States)
This is a great book for curious minds. I bought this for both my boys 8 and 5 and they love the facts and behind the scence information that they can read about. It is very colorful and keep the attention for long periods of time. Quality book for long road trips and learn at the same time.
 Christmas Gift for a 9 year old. January 18, 2008

Just the right amount of colorful info January 1, 2008

I bought this for my eager-to-learn niece because her grandpa reads the adult almanac all the time. It has 1-4 page sections on the same topics as the world almanac. Difference: it's in full-color displays like magazine pages. Very inviting and has the crucial info that a kid might want to use to answer questions such as "What's the capital of Tupalu?" Frankly, all the adults picked it up to flip through, too, because it draws in the reader. The reading/interest level is probably middle-to-late middle school.
The best gift December 26, 2007
J J (Phoenix AZ)
I bought this almanac as a gift for my 8.5-year-old grandaughter for Christmas, one of a dozen packages, and the least expensive. This is what she was most interested in. She read off-and-on for the next 3 to 4 hours that she was spent with me. Great!
Every child should have one December 21, 2007
major book reader (canada)
I highly recommend this book. I have bought the world almanac for kids 4 years in a row and it is by far the most used book in the house. I have bought multiple copies for gifts as well each year and think every child should have one. It is full of fun, information and facts and is great for bedtime reading....
